Local emergency lighting installation in Toab
We often find dark spots in Toab buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.
Exit signs in Toab premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.
Our teams travel to Toab from across the Highlands and Islands. Typical nearby jobs include Lerwick, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Toab by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
